2020 Holiday Fund Drive
It goes without being said: It has been an incredibly difficult year where no individual, company or organization went unaffected. But when a community comes together, it can overcome almost anything.
Next, WE CELEBRATE THE PAWSITIVE people and stories that made Tails of Hope possible in 2020. See our News/Events website page.
And then WE REMEMBER: We are still in the grips of a worldwide pandemic and are facing the harsh realities of an incredibly difficult year. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the spay/neuter community by creating a “gap*.” The worldwide pandemic-combined with effects of a national veterinarian shortage-leaves a 43% gap for Tails of Hope in 2020.
What does this mean? It means 1,182 less surgeries at Tails of Hope so far this year** for an estimated 3,546 births that otherwise would have been prevented without the pandemic and veterinarian shortage challenges.*** These animals are at risk of ending up abandoned in our community, ending up in animal shelters, and suffering in abuse and/or neglect.
Bottom line: Tails of Hope is essential, especially in chaotic and uncertain times. We need to prepare for a significant increase in numbers in the next couple of months and over the next couple of years from both individual and shelter clients. We urge you to fund Tails of Hope now to avoid an even heavier load placed on us and other animal organizations later.
Finally, we CALL YOU TO ACTION to donate to our 2020 Holiday Fund Drive. Our goal is to make up for the unprecedented gap and raise $100,000 by December 31, 2020 to provide spay/neuter services for thousands more animals in 2021, but we can’t do it without your help.
Would you be willing to make a special 2020 year-end contribution of to help/save more animals in need? You can make a difference with your generous support today so we can impact our community in a meaningful and lasting way.
Please join us by making your gift on our website donation form or by sending a check. The lives of thousands of animals are at stake.
We cannot continue our critical mission without your support, and we need your help now more than ever.
Stay safe, stay well, and best wishes for 2021,
Diane O’Brien Webster, Co-Founder & President

make a difference for people and animals
Dear Current and Future Tails of Hope Supporters,
June 25, 2020
People across our community, the nation and around the world are stepping up to do what they can to help humans and animals as we fight COVID-19. After two months of mandatory shut down due to COVID-19, Tails of Hope briefly resumed services.
Tails of Hope is a 501 (c) (3) charitable animal welfare organization who believes the world will be a better place when it values and ensures the well-being of companion animals, treating them with kindness and compassion. Tails of Hope exists to eliminate neglect, abuse and suffering of animals resulting in improved overall quality of animal life. We do this by striving to impact pet over-population through spay/neuter programs, and support of rescue, rehabilitation, adoption and education. We directly provide essential services of spay/neuter and rabies vaccines to the city shelters, rescue groups, and individuals in our area through our low-cost programs.
But, we must tell you, right now our programs are in trouble. And we are sad to inform you that the doors of Tails of Hope are currently closed. In addition to the reduction of public donations during this time of uncertainty and COVID-19 causing the cancellation of our fundraising events which provides revenue for the year, the nation is experiencing a shortage of veterinarians. Tails of Hope and other veterinary clinics in our community are not exempt from this challenge. As a low-cost, non-profit organization, Tails of Hope cannot compete in wages and benefits of full-service, for-profit veterinary clinics without the financial support of our community. We are actively reaching out to veterinary groups in our area to propose a collaborative solution to the shared challenge for talent. But this alone will not keep our programs going.
Tails of Hope does not receive government funding. We do not have endowments. We rely on individual donations from people just like you-people who care about animals and our community-to maintain our operations, attract and retain high-quality staff, and continue to provide low-cost to no-cost services for our city shelters, local rescue groups, and individuals in our community who otherwise struggle to afford the essential services for the animals.
We realize this is a stressful and uncertain time for us all. Please know the only way we can keep our programs alive is with your help.
Your tax-deductible gift today will make a huge difference to restart Tails of Hope operations, acquire and retain high-quality staff, and continue vital services for our city shelters, local rescue groups, and individuals in our community who depend on our low-cost programs.
Mail checks payable to “Tails of Hope” and mail to: 2450 Hoezle Road, Hermitage, PA 16148
We have never before asked for your assistance with this sense of urgency. Please help today so that we can continue to make a difference for the people and animals in our community tomorrow.
Stay safe and healthy!
Sincerely,
Diane O’Brien Webster
